I would be unsure what works with Win 10 or 11 and newer hardware, but most probably bootable solutions are out there which are fine tuned towards Win 10 or 11.

Ultimate Boot CD and Hiren's Rescue CD could have some tools that will test hard drives and cables. For rootkits there were some bootable virus checking rescue CDs which worked well, but the last time I used such tools was on someone's Win 7 system.
